The Blue Sound of New York

This film benefits from a good production. The camera work is good, classic yet efficient with some really good shots, such as the one opposing the two main subjects both at work, their back to each other, separated by a huge shelf. It is a documentary that chooses to use the form in order to convey the message and that makes it very interesting. The editing is fluid and it allows the audience to get into the story rather easily. • The cinematography is at the service of the content and fits perfectly to the title and the subject, The choice in terms of color and lightning confers this cold blue atmosphere to the entire documentary. The interesting thing is that there is no will to magnify the reality, it is all about recording it in a bare way. • The documentary develops an interesting reflection on routine, how it affects the individual and in a domino effect the relationship. It is striking in a way to observe how calm and how accurate these two persons are when trying to give their analysis of what happened between them.

• The sequences that come and break with the "interviews pattern", such as the concert, or the beginning where the audience observes them at work, are welcome in order to keep the audience focused.

• The soundtrack is definitely a plus of this documentary as it comes and add to the general atmosphere.

A sharp look at a peculiar yet fascinating professional and personal relationship.
